Chapter 222 Her Royal Highness the Princess, you really spare no effort for General Cao [Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass]
Cao Ren didn't know until this moment.
The idea of his own general was to take advantage of the possibility of chaos in the north, and then lead his troops to annex Wei County.
It is nothing more than that the general will personally come to Dongjun to take office.
It seems that he intends to connect Dongjun and Wei County after taking Wei County, and then expand into a large territory.
After a brief moment of horror.
In its place, there is passion.
Compared with the orders received by Zhang Liao and Cao Chun, the task entrusted to him by the general is definitely the top priority.
After all, it's about the future.
It is related to the growth of the entire Cao family.
So important, so trusted.
What else could he say?
What's more, as a general, he made meritorious contributions by killing the enemy and expanding his territory.
If he follows the general's orders and successfully takes the entire Wei County and firmly holds it in his hands, then this will definitely be a great achievement.
must be in the Cao family's power merit book, a strong stroke of color.
It's exciting to think about.
Think about it here.
Cao Ren didn't think much about it, bowed straight to the end, and replied in a sonorous tone.
"Please rest assured, the general will definitely live up to his trust, and will open up all the cities in the south of Wei County in the shortest possible time, so that he can travel unhindered in the future!"
Cao Ang smiled.
That's it.
The transfer of the army under his command is basically completed.
A total of more than 12,000 soldiers and horses have been divided into three generals, each responsible for a major task.
And what Cao Ang has to do next.
It is to do our best to develop Dongjun and accumulate strength, while waiting for changes in Jizhou.
As long as there is a change in the north.
And I received the corresponding information here.
He could immediately order the whole army to go north, quickly occupy the entire territory of Wei County, and open up Hebei and Yan'er Prefectures.
Once the entire Wei County was taken.
That not only means that the territory is expanding, but more importantly, Cao Ang can also justifiably sit on the table in Jizhou.
……
Three days later, in the afternoon.
It is located in the west gate of Puyang County.
Cao Ang led Dian Wei to wait outside the city, while Xun Yu, Xun Yu and other direct core Wenchen all stood behind Cao Ang, waiting quietly.
Behind everyone, there are quite a few middle- and upper-level officials, most of whom are descendants of the Cao family, but some are local forces.
Such a large group of people didn't have to wait long.
From a distance, I saw a convoy of trains coming slowly, led by dozens of majestic soldiers on tall horses, lined up on the left and right, acting as honor guards.
This was followed by an ornately decorated carriage.
Whether it is the horses used to pull the carriage or the exquisite brocade patterns engraved on the carriage, it proves that the owner of the carriage is by no means an ordinary person.
And after this carriage.
There are more than ten large cars stretching all the way, and the cars are full of things, but they are all covered with tarpaulins, and at a glance, I don't know what the cars are loaded on.
"Phew!"
As the leading soldier of the guard of honor at the front strangled the horses under his seat, an order to stop the team came out from the carriage at the right time.
"Wow!"
As the curtain was lifted, a bright woman dressed in brocade clothes slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Wearing a tiara symbolizing the status of a royal lady, her hair bun is filled with all kinds of precious gold and jade beads, and she drags it all the way to the pale yellow satin palace skirt at her feet, and also wears a smock that seems to be woven of gold wire.
And as the woman's face appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone present, led by Cao Ang, bowed in unison.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess!"
……
A woman who calmly accepts everyone's salute at this moment.
It was the princess Liu Huan, who temporarily parted ways with Cao Ang after the first war in Jinxiang County, left Yanzhou, and went to take out her hidden treasure.
And today is the time when she arrives in Puyang.
After everyone bowed.
Liu Huancai's voice was gentle, but she raised her hand dignified and generously and said: "You are all the shares of the country and the pillars of the imperial court, please hurry up, no need to be polite!" ”
Under the leadership of Cao Ang.
The crowd immediately got up.
Many people looked at the princess with excitement in their eyes, and the local forces in Dongjun afterwards were even more thoughtful after hearing the princess's words.
"Your Royal Highness, you have been tired all the way, you must have been tired, the minister has set up a reception banquet for you in the county government, please move to enjoy the light!"
Under the gaze of everyone.
Liu Wan nodded reservedly.
"Cao Qing, please!"
As Cao Ang waved his hand, many middle- and upper-level officials opened the way in front, Her Royal Highness the princess returned to the carriage, and Cao Ang turned over on the red rabbit horse.
……
Taishou Fuzhong, in the living room.
After three rounds of drinking.
Seeing that the atmosphere is almost in place.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was sitting on the throne, stood up gracefully, and came to the stage with a crisp and crisp movement, holding a wine lord in her hand.
And with Liu Huan getting up.
Cao Ang immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and landed on the table with a crisp sound.
Seeing that the host and the distinguished guests were all acting like this, how could the people under the seats not understand what they meant.
Immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Everyone who was originally slightly drunk and talking and laughing became sitting upright at this moment, with solemn expressions on their faces.
See this.
Liu Wan bowed slightly.
Then he raised his hand slightly, and then said in a serious tone.
"When there is chaos today, Dong thieves hid in Chang'an, the majesty of the imperial court is lost, the people are displaced, and bandits are rampant.
"And at this time of crisis, it is not the stock of the country and the minister of the pillars of the Han Dynasty that it is not enough to protect the sky, turn the tide, and save the people from fire and water!"
Speaking of which.
Liu Huan paused slightly.
Then he turned sideways to face Cao Ang, raised the wine glass in his hand to signal, and then said impassionedly.
"When the palace was still in Luoyang, I heard that General Cao Ang and Cao Zixuan were the pillars of the Han Dynasty, loyal and unparalleled, and loyal to the imperial court."
"In the eyes of this palace, a person like General Cao is the best person to save the country and save the people, which is why I came to Puyang County this time, and I will give all the support I can provide!"
"You are all General Cao's right-hand man, and naturally you are also the pillars of the country, I hope you can complement each other more wholeheartedly in the future, this is not only for General Cao, but also for my Han Dynasty!"
"In the future, when the thieves of the country are purged, the bandits are leveled, and the world is swept away, you and others are all meritorious people!"
……
Princess Wannian spared no effort to praise Cao Ang, which was called a skyscraper.
Listening to the audience, the faces of everyone in the audience were colorful.
Our Royal Highness the princess, standing on the platform for General Cao, is a little too hard.
Before, everyone hadn't figured out what Princess Wannian was doing when she suddenly came to Puyang County, but after such a statement, it can be regarded as a whole thing.
She's here to prop up Cao Ang!
First of all, he will feel the current crisis of the Han Dynasty, and then show that only a person like General Cao Ang can save the Han Dynasty.
Then let those who are younger brothers follow General Cao in a down-to-earth manner in the future, and they can be mixed with an official and a knight in the future, and they will be rich for half their lives.
Isn't this just shouting for Cao Ang?
Of course, knowing is knowing, and what should be affected must be affected.
For example, the local forces in Dongjun can be said to be completely subdued when Cao Ang first came.
Really affected by these words.
It has not been long since he defected to Cao Ang's hands, and he is not as senior as Xun Yu, Xun You and others, as well as the middle and lower-level officials who directly belong to the Cao family.
After today's feast, there is no doubt that the cohesion between these people has grown.
has also become more and more consolidated, and has always unswervingly followed Cao Ang's side, holding the idea of the boss's thigh.
Even Her Royal Highness the princess of the Han Dynasty waved her flag and shouted to General Cao, which shows how popular General Cao is among the upper-class mainstream people and the clan surnamed Liu.
With such a boss, is there anything to worry about in the future?
Immerse yourself in the hard work and you're done!
……
"Your Highness, slow down, and come here, the minister ordered someone to cook the tea soup, just in time to sober you up."
Cao Angping retreated from the people who followed left and right.
led the princess of Wannian to the side hall alone.
Since there is no one else to follow on the left and right.
Therefore, the position between Cao Ang and the princess naturally moved a little closer.
Let's be honest.
This is the first time Cao Ang has seen Princess Wannian dressed in women's clothes, and every time Liu Huan appeared in front of him before, she was either tightly wrapped or dressed as a chivalrous man.
And today's gorgeous palace skirt really refreshed Cao Ang's cognition and made him amazed.
There is no loose robe, and the tight skirt is bound by the belt around the waist, which directly makes Liu Huan's figure more and more exquisite.
Walking beside the princess at the moment.
The tip of Cao Ang's nose can lightly smell a burst of peach fragrance, I don't know if the princess was born with it, or if she used some special fragrance.
With the turn of the head to look.
It can be clearly seen that Liu Huan's white and tender face with clear lines and full of three-dimensional sense is still a towering and straight nose bridge, slightly sharp eyes, and a tall and crisp eyebrow line.
It's just that it's compared to the past.
At this moment, on the white and tender face of Her Royal Highness the Princess, there are two more faint blush caused by drinking, and there is a faint aroma of wine between the exhalation.
The lips are stained with a layer of vermilion rouge, bright and delicate, like a cherry with water.
These great washes away the sharpness of the face.
……
"General Cao, could it be that I am dressed in this dress, what is wrong, why have you been staring at me since I left the hall?"
The woman's gaze on the eyes of others really has a very high keen perception.
Faced with the princess's straightforward question.
Cao Ang didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled and said logically: "There is nothing wrong with it, it's just that after Your Highness changed her skirt, I was shocked by your demeanor, so I couldn't help but take a few more looks." ”
Like a strange woman like Liu Huan.
It is absolutely impossible to feel any strong fluctuations in his mood because of Cao Ang's beautiful words.
She just showed a slight smile, her eyes softened a little, and then gently pinched the placket of her clothes with her fingers, and then pointed to the fat powder on her face, and said helplessly.
"It's been a long time since I've dressed up like this, if it weren't for the maid serving me and replacing me, I'm afraid I would probably be a little at a loss for a while."
Hear that.
Cao Ang immediately bowed to him slightly.
The words were full of emotion.
"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Huan shook her head slightly.
"What's so hard about this, when I was a princess in the past, I used to dress like this every day."
"It's just that since my father's collapse, I've been going back and forth between multiple counties for several months, and I'm used to dressing as a man, and I'm just a little unaccustomed to it."
Speaking of which.
Princess Wannian paused slightly.
Then he said in a slightly aggravated tone: "Besides, this time I am here to strengthen your momentum, as long as you can do enough to be a princess with majesty and demeanor, then the process is a little more cumbersome, what does it matter?" ”
……
As Liu Wan said.
The reason why she changed back to the princess's costume specifications was to support Cao Ang's scene.
As early as two days ago, Princess Wannian's convoy had actually arrived not far from Puyang County, and quietly sent someone over to inform Cao Ang.
And such a grand appearance.
and a reception.
It was also proposed by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
After all, in addition to the hidden property that belonged to the Spirit Emperor, the only thing she could give Cao Ang the most help was her identity.
In order to allow Cao Ang's power to continue to grow and sweep the world at a faster speed, so as to achieve the goal of clearing the universe and sweeping away the thieves.
Liu Huan also spared no effort.
"General Cao, you can arrange for someone to transfer the assets I brought to the treasury as soon as possible and keep them properly, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
"Your Highness don't worry, during the banquet just now, I have quietly sent someone to carry out the handover, and at this moment those assets have been placed in the treasury."
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang remembered that after the banquet was over, a subordinate ran to his ear to report the content.
That's enough money for a dozen cars.
Under the tarpaulin, there were boxes and boxes of piles, filling the entire cart, and more than a dozen guards were busy for a long time before the transfer was completed.
Although most of the boxes were five baht, it was quite a large amount.
Horses were bought, army salaries, miners' wages, craftsmen's salaries......
All of the above can be supported by this astronomical figure.
Enough for Cao Ang to use for a long time.
……
After sitting in the side hall for a while.
Liu Wan suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly asked.
"General Cao, can you arrange my accommodation in Puyang City for me?"
"If not, I will ask my subordinates to buy a house for me, after all, if I want to live here for a long time, it will be inconvenient to have no mansion."
When Cao Ang heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he nodded happily and said: "Your Highness didn't mention it, I almost forgot to mention this matter, it has already been arranged, and it is next door to my Taishou Mansion." ”
"It's still early now, so I might as well lead His Highness to take a look."
"Speaking of which, this house has been inhabited before, but it is all familiar to Her Royal Highness the Princess, maybe you will be pleasantly surprised by it after seeing it later!"
Liu Huan couldn't help blinking.
The tall and elegant eyebrows also shook up and down a little, and they were very stylish.
"General Cao said this, but it really makes me a little curious, if it is not troublesome, then ask General Cao to lead me to have a look."
The two of them then got up and left.
